William and I went to Seoraksan National Park over the weekend in the northeastern part of the country. We ran/hiked, and climbed the ladder up into the cave pictured below, but this first picture isn't mine, it's from Wikipedia. We were there on a rainy and foggy day so we couldn't tell that it looked like this at all. None of my pictures have any views like this, but I think I still got some nice ones.
While climbing it was obviously steep and we could tell there was a big drop below us (it was more than a little scary), but we didn't know how much of the mountain was actually hidden from view.
I wasn't a big fan of the see-through, wet, and slippery, metal steps, but I liked looking out into the fog because it seemed as if we were standing at the edge of the earth.
It was also nice that hardly anyone else was there, so we nearly had the place to ourselves. I would
not have wanted to be on those steps with 100 other people!
On Sunday we rode our bikes into the mountains then back down to the beach. We stood in the Pacific Ocean, but it was too cold to swim, so we've now been in the Pacific on an eastern and a western coast. As always, I collected a couple of shells from the beach.
I also climbed up to a lighthouse tower and got some views of the ocean, city, and mountains, while William stayed down below relaxing by the water (and watching our bikes).
One more thing checked off our list that we both wanted to do before coming home.
